I found one source that uses obdurate as the definition.

So the example sentence could be:

''The difficult circumstances only served to obdurate him to succeed.''

''The difficult circumstances only served to make him obdurate in striving for success."
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
